now can we put this Durant vs Prime Tmac debate to rest?

[Bob Dole]

Durant has atleast 3, if not 4 years that are better than any T-Mac year. He's playing on a level that kobe never even reached.

Hes in the group of bird, jordan, magic, lebron, oscar for peak play from a perimeter player.

Tmac never made it out of the first round and we are comparing to player that has a finals appearance.

^^
If Tmac had the Cast that Durant has He would have gone Further.

32ppg on 50%

Tmac never been on that level

[Trollsmasher]

peak TMac - 30.3 PER and that was in a tough defensive era

peak Durant - 29.8 PER in the most babied season in the history

TMac was also better defender and infinitely more clutch

[atljonesbro]

It's insane to think people think prime Tmac is better than current Durant. You seriously have to be one nostalgic guy to even fathom that

[Nuff Said]

Tmac never made it out of the first round and we are comparing to player that has a finals appearance.

You seen what happened once tmac had a decent team. He made it to the finals last year and took Miami to 7 games, nearly taking the win.

[HoopsFanNumero1]

Durant is absolutely better. There really isn't much of a case to be made for T-Mac. McGrady was one of the biggest playoff chokers ever. I mean, so is Durant but not to that extent.

[scm5]

TMac was slightly better. TMac, Jordan, Bird, Magic, Grant Hill, & LeBron were the most talented perimeter players I've ever seen.

Damn, I'm sorry you've never seen Kobe play.

Don't mind him. He's been spewing Kobe angst around here for nearly 10 years. Guy was one of the "Kobe will never win without Shaq" droids

Still hasn't recovered. IIRC, he also thinks Dirk was as good as KG, but that might be another deluded Mavs fan.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Its very close.
i would give Tmac the edge because he was never a flopper and never pampered like Durant

[Bigsmoke]

Prime Tmac led his team to the worst record in the NBA

[Cold soul]

Gotta go with Durant here over prime T-Mac.

[Mr Exlax]

I say TMac because he was a better defender. He bad a more complete game. I don't get how people completely disregard the defensive side of the ball.
